"I was introduced to ACI by my line manager, with a view to having
a better understanding of compliance as a profession after a
background in the financial planning industry. I completed the AACI
accreditation and have been an ACI member for more than a year.
For me, ACI has been an invaluable source of information and
ongoing professional development. The conferences, workshops
and short courses have been vital sources, not only for learning
and development, but also for networking with other compliance
professionals. So we stay updated with the latest regulatory
developments and changes and are part of a strong network of like-
minded individuals across an array of industry sectors."
